DESCRIPTION:With Cecilia Aldarondo in person\n\n\nWinner\, Best U.S. Latino
Film. Dir. Cecilia Aldarondo. USA/Puerto Rico\, 2016\, 74 mins. In Englis
h and Spanish with English subtitlesCombining a wealth of newly discovered
home movies\, video\, and written documents with artfully shot contempora
ry interviews and vérité footage\, Memories of a Penitent Heart is a docum
entary that cracks open a Pandora’s box of unresolved family drama. Origin
ating from filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo’s suspicion that there was somethin
g ugly in her family’s past\, the film charts her excavation of the buried
family conflict around her uncle Miguel’s death\, and her search for Migu
el’s partner Robert a generation later. After two years of dead ends\, Rob
ert turns up: but he’s not the same man. He’s reinvented himself as Father
Aquin\, a Franciscan monk with twenty-five years of pent-up grief and bit
terness. For the first time\, a member of Miguel’s family wants to hear Aq
uin’s side of the story—but is it too little\, too late? A story about the
mistakes of the past and the second chances of the present\, Memories of
a Penitent Heart is a cautionary tale about the unresolved conflicts wroug
ht by AIDS\, and a nuanced exploration of how faith is used and abused in
times of crisis.\n\n\nTickets: $15 (Free for members at the Film Lover lev
